It is recorded that a friendly wager between two gentlemen debating who had the fastest horseless carriage spawned “The Birthplace Of Speed.” The wide, hard-packed sands of “The World’s Most Famous Beach” were the scene of nearly 30 years of speed trials. In addition, the 1905 movie “Automobile Races at Ormond, Fla.” probably added to the area’s draw. Among the most famous of the pioneers of speed was Ransom E. Olds, later of REO and Oldsmobile fame, who was the first man to race on the beach in a timed run. R. E. Olds and his “Pirate” run on the beach in 1903. The final speed trials were held in March, 1935. The trials then moved to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Daytona Beach had earned a world-wide reputation as “The Birthplace of Speed;” now it needed something to continue that legacy. Stock car racing on the beach began the following year and lasted until 1958. The sport wasn’t new, but racing on a course which combined a portion of the beach and a public road was. Auto racing history was being written on the sands of Daytona. The original 3.2-mile course had the north turn located near the center of town. The course ran approximately 1.5 miles north on the beach and then 1.5 miles south on a paved, public roadway with the two portions connected by banked sand turns. A local mechanic by the name of Bill France entered the inaugural race on March 8, 1936 and finished fifth. It was the beginning of an era. In two years time, a two-wheeled version of beach racing history began with the inaugural Daytona 200 motorcycle road race on January 24, 1937. The racing was halted during World War II in the interest of national defense. Stock car racing resumed on April 14, 1946. The motorcycle races resumed the following year, February 27, 1947. France put aside his driving gear at the end of the 1946 season to concentrate on the demands of being a promoter of both stock car and motorcycle races on the beach. Soon after, in early 1947, he founded NASCAR, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. In 1948, a new beach/road course greeted the racers. Daytona Beach and the surrounding areas were growing. The organizers were forced to move the circuit down the beach toward Ponce Inlet. The new course for the stock cars measured 2.2-miles with a longer 4.1-mile course for the motorcycles. Both courses shared the same south turn. In 1953, France saw that the days of racing on the beach-road course were numbered due to the spreading land usage of a rapidly growing population and huge race crowds. France put his plan for the future of racing in Daytona into motion on April 4, 1953 with a proposal to construct a permanent speedway facility. The last NASCAR race held on the beach in 1958. 4 ® Daytona International Speedway History On June 6, 1955, the dream of a speedway in Daytona took on the foundation of reality for the man friends, fans and the newspapers called “Big Bill.” A contract between the Racing and Recreation Facilities Authority, created by the city and county commissioners on August 16, 1954, and the Daytona Motor Speedway Corporation, headed by France, was signed to operate the proposed $2,500,000 facility. The projected opening date for the track was July 4, 1957. It was an optimistic target given the downturn of the economy in the ensuing years, which all but put an end to the sale of bonds to finance the project. In the end, the renamed Speedway District Commission signed a new contract with France on November 8, 1957, allowing the corporation headed by him to lease the property. Thus, the 1958 race would mark the final time the beachroad course would be used for auto racing. The search for private funding began immediately, with ground clearing of an area adjacent to the city’s airport beginning 17 days later on November 25, 1957. The plans called for a 2.5-mile trioval-shaped circuit boasting 31-degree banking in the turns. The impressive plans were regarded at the time as blueprints for a marvel of engineering and construction — or a fantastic dream that would never reach completion. The doubters never took into consideration the resourcefulness, drive and determination of “Big Bill.” On February 22, 1959, Daytona International Speedway, the “World Center of Racing,” hosted the first Daytona 500. The posted awards for the “500-Mile International Sweepstakes” totaled $67,760. A field of 59 cars took the green flag for the start. A crowd of over 41,000 was on hand to witness the beginning of another chapter in the history of racing in Daytona. The finish of the race also went into the history books. The finish appeared too close to call, but Johnny Beauchamp savored the celebration in victory lane. The results were posted as “unofficial.” It took three days to decide that Lee Petty was the winner in what appeared to be a dead heat between Petty and Beauchamp — with Joe Weatherly making it threewide at the finish line, although he was The famous three-wide finish in the first Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in 1959. two laps down to the front runners. A clip of newsreel film provided the conclusive evidence that Petty was the winner — by about two feet! A number of famous pioneers of speed have been recognized by the Speedway with the naming of grandstands in their honor: Ralph DePalma; Barney Oldfield; Ray Keech; Major H.O.D. Segrave of Great Britain, the first man to go over 200 mph; Sir Malcolm Campbell, also from Britain, who set the ultimate speed record on the beach of 276.82 mph; and Frank Lockhart, who died in an accident on the beach while attempting to set a speed record. In addition, three stock car drivers who raced on both the beach and the high banks of Daytona International Speedway — Joe Weatherly, Fireball Roberts and Tiny Lund — have grandstands named in their honor. The Daytona 200 motorcycle race continued to be run on the beach through 1960. In 1961, the Daytona 200 moved to the Speedway. 5 ® DAYTONA 500 EXPERIENCE "The Official Attraction of NASCAR" While the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competes 38 times a year across the country, race fans can always get a taste of the fastest growing sport in America at DAYTONA 500 EXPERIENCE, “The Official Attraction of NASCAR.” DAYTONA 500 EXPERIENCE Packed with a variety of high-energy thrills from performing a pit stop on an actual Sprint Cup Series race car to motion simulators and the Coca-Cola 3D IMAX Theatre, Daytona 500 Experience gives an up close and personal look of racing at NASCAR’s most storied venue – Daytona International Speedway. “We invested a great deal of thought and creativity to develop an exciting environment that appeals to the entire family – both hard care race fans and casual observers of the sport,” explains Lesa France Kennedy, President and Vice Chairperson of International Speedway Corporation and the driving force behind the venture. “Even if you’ve never attended a motorsports event or watch one on TV, you can still come to Daytona Beach, spend several actionpacked hours at Daytona 500 Experience and come away with a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.” DAYTONA 500 EXPERIENCE is home to the Coca-Cola 3D IMAX Theatre, which shows NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience.

COCA-COLA 3D IMAX THEATRE 8 ® Economic Impact Study: DIS Generates $1.9 Billion Annually Daytona International Speedway, host of NASCAR’s biggest, richest and most pestigious event – The Daytona 500 – has an annual overall economic impact of more than $1 billion. According to the report conducted by The Washington Economics Group, Inc. and Chuck Yaros in late 2007, Daytona International Speedway and Daytona 500 Experience boast a total economic impact of $1.9 billion annually. The economic impact study was conducted over a several month period utilizing the IMPLAN model, which analyzes both the direct and indirect benefits of an economic producer in a region and statewide. Daytona International Speedway’s annual calendar features high profile sanctioning bodies such as NASCAR, Grand-Am, American Motorcycle Association (AMA) and World Karting Association (WKA). From stock cars’ most prestigious race – the Daytona 500 – to sports cars’ most prestigious road race – the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the Speedway is active with activity more than 300 days each year. “For many years, Daytona International Speedway has been an economic catalyst in the state of Florida,” said Speedway President Robin Braig. “Through the millions of fans that visit our facility throughout the year, we are proud to fulfill our commitment to give back to our neighbors in Daytona Beach, Volusia County and the state of Florida on an annual basis.” The WEG study also found: • DIS and Daytona 500 Experience operations create nearly 32,000 jobs. • DIS and Daytona 500 Experience provide more than $856 million dollars in labor income annually. • DIS and Daytona 500 Experience generate $155.4 million dollars annually in tax revenue to state and local governments. The report also noted that International Speedway Corporation, the parent company of Daytona International Speedway, announced that its operations generate $2.3 billion in economic benefit each year. “The results of this study are very compelling and speak to the significant contribution our operations make to the annual economy of the state and our local communities,” added ISC President Lesa France Kennedy. “Our events attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Florida each year. These visitors stay locally and spend money at area attractions and other businesses. We could not continue to succeed without the support of our local residents and officials, and are proud that our operations are able to give back to these communities in such a strong way.” 9 ® DIS Grandstand Biographies Bobby Allison (Honored in 1999) Allison, the 1983 NASCAR champion, is a three-time winner of the Daytona 500 and the oldest winner of both the Daytona 500 and July’s Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Cola. Bobby and his son Davey delivered one of the most memorable finishes in Daytona history in 1988, when Bobby edged Davey for his third and final Daytona 500 victory on Valentine’s Day. Sir Malcolm Campbell (Honored in 1959) Campbell, who was made a honorary citizen of Daytona Beach, Fla., was one of the greatest speed seekers of all time, setting many of his records on the beaches of Daytona. Born in Chislehurtst, Kent, England, Campbell became the first man to exceed 250 mph in 1932 on the beaches of Florida, reaching a speed of 253.97 mph. In 1933, Campbell raised it to 272.46 mph, and in 1935, on Daytona Beach, Campbell hit 276.82 mph. Later that year, Campbell made his final Land Speed Record run in Utah, reaching 301.13 mph. Ralph DePalma (Honored in 1959) DePalma was one of the many Land Speed Record chasers that came to Daytona Beach. In 1919, DePalma, piloting his 12-cylinder Packard, broke 12 records on Daytona Beach within the span of six days. His top overall speed was 149.875 mph in the measured mile. His standing start mile run remained in the record books for 36 years. DePalma also won the 1915 Indianapolis 500 and was a national champion. He was known for his duels with his arch-rival Barney Oldfield on the dirt tracks at state fairs. Dale Earnhardt (Honored in 2000) Earnhardt was perhaps the most dominate driver to race at Daytona International Speedway, showing a total of 34 victories. Earnhardt’s Daytona resume is as follows: one Daytona 500 victory (1998), two Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Colas (1990, 1993), seven Camping World 300s (1982, 1986, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994), 12 Gatorade Duels (1983, 1986, 1990-1999), six Budweiser Shootouts (1980, 1986, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1995), six IROC events (1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000). 10 ® DIS Grandstand Biographies DeWayne Louis (Tiny) Lund (Honored in 1994) Lund’s greatest victory came in the 1963 Daytona 500. Lund arrived at Daytona that year without a ride and was planning to work as a crew member. But after rescuing Marvin Panch from a burning Maserati-Ford that Panch was practicing for a Continental Sports Car race, a ride found him. The injured Panch recommended Lund to car owner Glen Wood and Lund ended up in Victory Lane in the “Great American Race.”. Frank Lockhart (Honored in 1991) Lockhart, born in Dayton, Ohio, and raised in California, was a mathematics and mechanical genius in his short career as a driver. As a rookie, he won the 1926 Indianapolis 500. He also competed on dirt tracks, board tracks and pursued World Land Speed Records in Daytona Beach. Ray Keech (Honored in 1959) Keech was a famed dirt track and board track driver from Philadelphia. He captured the 1929 Indianapolis 500 and set a world speed record on Daytona Beach. Keech might be the only driver to be awarded a race victory posthumously. In 1929 in Altoona, Pa., Keech was leading the race when he crashed and was killed. The accident destroyed a section of the race track and prevented the race from being completed, so Keech was awarded the victory. Barney Oldfield (Honored in 1959) Oldfield, primarily known for his exploits on the dirt tracks, first gained famed for driving the No. 999, Henry Ford’s first race car. In 1904 at Daytona, Oldfield drove the Winton Bullet No. 2 and in 1910, he set a world land speed record of 131.275 mph in the Blitzen Benz. He returned in 1911 to set a standing start mile run with a speed of 88.45 mph. His arch-rival was Ralph DePalma. Richard Petty (Honored in 1999) Nicknamed “The King,” Petty won a record 200 NASCAR races, seven NASCAR titles and seven Daytona 500s. He produced a famous Daytona 500 finish in 1976, when he and David Pearson wrecked in the tri-oval as the duo approached the checkered flag. Pearson snatched the victory from Petty when he was able to limp across the 11 ® DIS Grandstand Biographies finish line first. Petty has also won three Coke Zero 400 Powered By CocaColas. In the 1984, he recorded his 200th and final NASCAR victory at Daytona in the 400-mile summer classic with President Ronald Reagan in attendance. Glenn “Fireball” Roberts (Honored in 1969) Roberts, born in Tavares, Fla., moved to Daytona Beach, Fla., graduated from Seabreeze High School and attended University of Florida. He earned his nickname because of the speed with which he threw a baseball. Roberts had 33 victories and 35 poles in 206 Winston Cup (then Grand National) starts in his career. Roberts was amazing at Daytona International Speedway, becoming the first driver to complete a sweep of all NASCAR events in one season, winning the Daytona 500, the Firecracker 250, a 100-mile qualifier and a 10-lap sprint in his No. 22 Pontiac in 1962. Sir Henry Segrave (Honored in 1959) Seagrave, a British racing hero, became the first driver to pass the magic 200-mph mark, reaching a speed of 203.79 mph on the beaches of Daytona on March 29, 1927 in his twin-airplane-engined 1,000 horsepower Sunbeam. Seagrave was not only a Land Speed Record chaser, but also a Grand Prix racer and a speed boat racer. Seagrave, who was the first to wear a helmet, also made speed runs in the Halifax River. Joe Weatherly (Honored in 1964) In his career, Weatherly won 24 Sprint Cup (then Grand National) races and two championships. He always ran strong at Daytona both on the beach and the asphalt of the 2.5-mile tri-oval. He never won the Daytona 500 or the Firecracker 400, be he did capture 100-mile qualifiers in 1961 and 1962. Weatherly, who grew up near Norfolk, Va., was also a former AMA National Motorcycle champion. Besides being nicknamed “Little Joe,” Weatherly was also known as the “Clown Prince of Racing” because of his practical jokes. 12 ® Daytona International Speedway Timeline August 16, 1954: Bill France Sr. signed a contract with city of Daytona Beach officials to build what would become Daytona International Speedway “The World Center of Racing.” November 25, 1957: Ground clearing began for the Daytona Beach International Speedway. February 20, 1959: Two days before the Daytona 500, Daytona International Speedway held a 100-mile convertible race. The convertible race was immediately followed by a 100-mile race for Grand National “hard-top” cars – thus twin qualifying races which are today called The Gatorade Duel At Daytona. Lee Petty (42) nips Johnny Beauchamp (73) in the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959. February 22, 1959: The inaugural Daytona 500 – also known as the “500-Mile International Sweepstakes” – was held with hard tops and convertibles. It was the only Daytona 500 to ever run with convertibles. The finish of the caution-free inaugural Daytona 500 was too close to call, but Johnny Beauchamp went to Victory Lane and savored the celebration although the results were posted as “unofficial.” Sixty-one hours later, Lee Petty was the winner in what appeared to be a dead heat between Petty and Beauchamp – with the lapped car of Joe Weatherly making it a three-wide finish at the checkered flag. A clip of newsreel footage proved that Petty was the winner by a few feet. July 4, 1959: The inaugural Firecracker 250 – later increased to 400 miles – was held and won by local driver Glenn “Fireball” Roberts. 1961: The Daytona 200 motorcycle classic moved from the beach to a 2.0-mile road course inside Daytona International Speedway. Roger Reiman, who specialized in Flat Track racing, won the inaugural Daytona 200 at DIS aboard a Harley-Davidson. His average winning speed was 69.26 mph. February 14, 1961: In the twin qualifying races for the Daytona 500 both Lee and Richard Petty sailed over the guardrail out of the race track in separate accidents; both, oddly enough, on Lap 37. Lee Petty suffered serious injuries in the second qualifying race while Richard only suffered some minor scrapes and a sprained ankle in his accident in the first qualifying race. Ironically, Johnny Beauchamp, the driver involved in the photo finish in the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959, was part of the Lee Petty accident and, he too, went over the wall sustaining minor injuries. February 16, 1961: Marvin Panch won the Daytona 500 with an average speed of 149.601 mph for the entire 500 miles, a speed faster than the pole-winning speed of that year’s Indianapolis 500. August 27, 1961: Art Malone drove Bob Osecki’s Hemi-powered, highly modified Indy car named the “Mad Dog IV” to a new world closed-course record speed of 181.561 mph. February 11, 1962: The inaugural Daytona Continental, now known as the Rolex 24, was held as a three-hour race run counterclockwise on the 3.81-mile road course. Dan Gurney, driving the No. 96 Lotus-Climax 19b S 2500 car, won the Daytona Continental completing 82 laps and averaging 104.101 mph in what was the fastest sports car race ever run in the United States. February 18, 1962: One of NASCAR’s popular drivers Glenn “Fireball” Roberts finally won a major event in his hometown when he captured his first and only Daytona 500 victory in the No. 22 Pontiac.
